NIGP 96882: Traffic Signal Installation

NIGP 96882 Traffic Signal Installation is an Item code covering the furnishing and installation of traffic signal equipment and infrastructure at roadway intersections. State and local governments procure comprehensive signal systems—poles, mast arms, signal heads, pedestrian signals, controllers, detection systems, conduit and cabling, and associated electrical work—under this code, often bundled with intersection improvements including pavement work, sidewalk upgrades, ADA ramps, and drainage. Recent opportunities show a mix of new signal installations at single or multiple intersections, signal modernization and system upgrades (including LED replacements, controller cabinet retrofits, and communications infrastructure), and disaster recovery and maintenance services. Jurisdictions issuing under the code include state departments of transportation (Georgia DOT), county governments (Broward County Florida, Collier County Florida, Fayette County Georgia, DeKalb County Georgia), cities (Dallas, Charlotte, San Antonio, Gainesville, Austin, Brownsville, Madison), and transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority). Dallas Department of Transportation and Public Works has posted multiple solicitations under this code in the recent window, indicating sustained procurement activity in that jurisdiction.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South, with significant recent posting volume in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Representative opportunities include the City of Dallas seeking bids for four new traffic signal installations at multiple intersections (ITB CIZ26TPW4001, due June 12, 2026, with SBE participation goals and Davis-Bacon wage requirements); Collier County Board of Commissioners requesting bids for emergency roadway sign repair and installation services with 48-hour deployment requirement and hourly rate structure (ITB 26-8680, due August 13, 2026, grant-funded and indefinite-quantity); the City of Gainesville soliciting pedestrian signal installation and intersection modifications including conduit, fiber optic cable, signal controllers, and traffic signal system interconnection work (ITB PWDA-260054-SM, due August 18, 2026, requiring 40 percent prime-contractor self-performance and Buy America compliance); and the City of Brownsville procuring 12th Street traffic signal improvements across ten intersections with modernization to LED signal heads, ADA-compliant pedestrian infrastructure, fiber optic communications, and CCTV with AI capability (IFB 145-26-EPW-IFB, due May 26, 2026, federally funded through STBG-MM). Cooperative purchasing vehicles and on-call contracts are active; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas is aggregating contracted services on a catalog-discount basis (CONSRV2628, due July 30, 2026, $14.1 million over two years, prior award to 254 vendors).
